Swim-a-thon Update - PLEASE READ

Swim-a-thon Update

The MACS Swim-a-thon is Saturday, May 10th at Pier Point. Here is the schedule for all practice groups:

7-9am                 Sectionals, Senior 3, Senior 5
9:15-11:15am     Age Groups 1-4, Mini Macs

The early group will be finishing around 9am and the later group will be in the pool promptly at 9:15am. This will be a crowded time at the pool - please be careful in the parking lot. We have some chairs at the pool but you are encouraged to bring your own.

Food and Drinks

Thank you to everyone who signed up to bring food/drinks/etc to the Swim-a-thon. Please try to have all food and drinks to the pool by 8:45am as the morning swimmers will be out of the pool by 9am. As in past years, we expect to have plenty of food for the second group but please be considerate to make sure we have enough.

Offline Donations (cash and checks)

All offline donations (cash and checks) MUST BE turned in at the Swim-a-thon on Saturday. We will have a table set up to receive all cash/check donations. Be sure to enter your offline donations on the website prior to the Swim-a-thon. The specific donations will then be collected and checked off the list on Saturday. 

Once your swimmer is finished, you will also need to report the number of laps completed.

As of this afternoon, we have raised over $8,519 for the team (Wow!). Thank you to everyone who has participated… there is still time if you have not raised any funds this year. If everyone raised at least $25 we would far exceed the team goal! Remember, half of your funds raised count towards your monthly fundraising.

Congratulations to everyone and good luck this weekend. Go MACS!

Awards and Certificates

Certificates and incentives from USA Swimming will be provided at a later date (MUCH EARLIER THAN LAST YEAR, WE PROMISE). A report is sent to USA Swimming after the Swim-a-thon for determination of individual incentives and participation awards. These will be distributed by the coaches as soon as they arrive.
